Last night we sat down with a selection of shop-bought, mass-produced baked goods (sorry Mary, Paul) to enjoy the latest weekly instalment of

Bake Off
is a fashion-free zone - it's about the quality of your crème anglaise, not the brand behind your broderie anglaise. We were surprised, then, to see Mary Berry stroll into the bakerquee (bakery/marquee) wearing an attention-grabbing piece of outerwear.
